lyrics

I used to see the sky as a black hole,
I tried to close my eyes to feel less alone.
Now that I've found you, all the stars have come out, all the stars have come
out.
Now when I look up to see the milky way,
I understand life in a new way,
Now that I've found you, I know what it's about, I know what it's about.

And I can't go back.
No I can't go back.

[chorus]
Water and Dirt, water and dirt,
That's what we're made of.
You told me one night, and I realized,
What I was afraid of.
It's all gonna end the same way it starts,
So why don't I let you into my heart?

I used to think about infinity,
And my head hurt from the thought that we,
Are such a small piece of a small piece of a small piece.

Then you showed me how to laugh about,
All the big things, and focus on right now.
Inside your arms, it's only you and me, it's only you and me.

And I can't go back.
No I can't go back.

[repeat chorus]

I'm not afraid of it anymore.

[repeat chorus]

So why don't I let you into my heart?
